.To all whom it may c oncern: I

Be it known that we, WILLIAM ANDERSON,

a subject of the King of Great Britain and 1 Ireland, residing at Edinburgh, Scotland,

(whose post-oflice address is Scotsman Arcade, North Bridge, Edinburgh,) and HENRY ANDERSON, a subject -of 'theiKing of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Edinburgh, Scotland, (whose post-oflice address is Scotsman, Arcade, North Bridge, Edinburgh,) have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in=Globe-Supports, of

- which the following is, a specification, referface view of same.

once being made therein to. the accompany ing drawings. Y

This invention relates to an appliance for. carrying suspending globes for inverted incandescent gas, electric and other. lamps, the objects being to provide elastic, self centering means for suspending'globes so as to prevent them breaking when expanded by heat and of instantaneously detaching these when desired. And in order that our said invention and the manner of putting'the same'into practice may be properly understoodwe have hereunto appended t'wo explanatory sheets of drawings in which the same reference numerals-are used to indicate corresponding parts in all the figures where shown.

in the direction of the arrow A (Fig. 2) of ourglobe suspender. Fig. 2 is a plan of Fig.

1 showing the spring clasp contracted to its greatest extent. Fig. 3. is asectional elevation and Fig. 4 is a plan' of same showing the spring clasp extended to receive the globe. Fig. 5 is a part sectional elevation showing an elastic self centering support. and'Fig. 6' is a face viewof same. Fig. 7 is a part. sectional elevation'showing an inter-[ nal self centering support and Fig.' 8 is a In carrying out our invention, asillustreated by Figs. 1 to 4 we use a spring clasp in the form of' two coils of sultable wire (preferably tempered steel) the inner coil 14 being of such a diameter as -to grip the neck of the'globe 15. The oaterleoil ie which has a tendency to expand-the inner coil tending to cont1'act-.presses .against th9 sides of the gallery 17 for a certain distance around, its-extremities being fixed atlSithhs insuring the centralizing of the inneror globe, carrying coil14, .no matter how its may be increased or reduced. "Theouter 16 is kept in position by means of guides 19.- i The inner or globe carrying coil v14fissup+ ported-by means of the projecting folds m the wire at 20, 21 and 22. .The springj lasp be flXteIlded r i g Figs. 7 and 8 show such sup orts attac to the inside of the gallery. l e are aware that elastic rings 'of spring wire havebeen used.

to suspend globes for gas, electric and otherlamps and that these rmgs have been carried by supporting studs sliding in the gallery and that spring holders have been usedjn 6? an 2ettowards eac other, or

5 and 6 show'the self nteringsupl "and 05 gas burners for steadying' gIobeswhich are I otherwise supported.

Having now descrlbed our invention what we claim as new and desire'to secure by Let- I ters Patent is Figure 1 .is an external elevation looking In globe supports, the combination of. "a

gallery with a self-centering sprin clasp having an inner coil which grasps t e nec of the globe and anouter coil whose ends outer coil having projecting supporting folds by which the clasp is-expanded when said folds are pressed together and the inner coil having a projecting supporting fold which acts as a guide as described] In witness whereof we have hereunto .set

v'ils so bear against the insideof the gallery, .the
